2001 E Hillside Drive, Unit 8
Bloomington, IN 47401
One of Bloomington's original homes, this historic farmhouse is part of Indiana's Historic Home Registry and is set among beautifully curated, mature gardens. Originally built and owned by Reverend James Faris, the property reflects more than 125 years of thoughtful ownership and care. Many original features remain intact, including fireplaces, hardwood flooring, built-in Craftsman cabinetry, and the original front door that still welcomes guests today. The current owners have thoughtfully restored and expanded the home to enhance both function and livability. The home won an Indiana State Historic Preservation Award in 2014! Additions include a two-car attached garage, a main-level primary suite, laundry room, mudroom, covered porch, an additional upstairs bedroom, and a screened-in porch. The kitchen has been reimagined into a modern farmhouse centerpiece, featuring exposed ceiling beams, custom cabinetry, a professional-grade range, prep sink, and a comfortable sitting area with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookcases. A sun-filled detached studio is tucked within the lush gardens, offering a flexible space ideal for a guest suite, home office, or art/yoga studio. The studio features vaulted ceilings, abundant windows, a full bathroom, and its own welcoming front porch with a hot tub.
